SERVPRO of Greenwich

Mold inspections in this region typically run $200 to $600, with the final bill depending on your home's size, age, and how many areas need testing. Norwalk's climate - averaging 71% relative humidity and 50 inches of rain yearly - creates conditions where mold can hide in older homes, and the median house here was built in 1966, which means plenty of potential problem spots. If you're getting an inspection, it's worth knowing that some companies both inspect for mold and perform the cleanup work, which creates a conflict of interest since they'd profit from finding problems. SERVPRO of Greenwich is listed as a mold inspector in Norwalk, so you'll want to understand their role before hiring.

Before you call anyone, ask whether they inspect only or also do remediation work. If SERVPRO of Greenwich does both, consider getting an independent inspection first from someone who won't benefit from selling you a remediation job. When you do move forward with any contractor, verify they're registered with Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection and carry proper insurance. Look for IICRC S520 certification, which shows they know the industry standards for this work.
